good enough but keys not easy to use

the c key is not good both in terms of design and use... it is small and when we press on it the down arrow is pressed many times. and it is a lack to make disabled the photo sending via infrared light... we just send the phonebook but what about the photos? also battery is not powerful, do not you see Nokia?
its battery duration for a normal use is about 5-7 days but for samsung x620 just 3 days...

SGH-X620 - Value for money??

Before SGH-X620, I was using Nokia 3120 which was a basic 4K colour model with GPRS The set looks very impressive and it fits snugly. It has its own ups and downs and I will first deal with the downsides of the set.

To start with, there is no direct access to the phone entries in one single step. It requires a minimum of three steps before you have a look at the desired entry. Moreover, the entries from SIM can only be copied on to the phone memory but not moved. The dialing fonts are of big size but unfortunately there is no provision to reduce the size. The C' button for going back to the previous menu or deleting an entry is inconveniently place and one has to use his/her nails to operate them. The icon for Phone settings' in the main menu is misleading as this is not represented by the usual spanner & hammer' symbol. In fact I spent nearly half-an-hour to finally connect the icon with Phone Settings'. The alarm' feature has only three default tones to choose from and one cannot choose a tone of his/her choice from the ringtones. There are quiet a few default melodies which cannot be deleted. These tones are somewhat jarring and unnecessarily eat up the memory space. I also feel that the volume of the ringtones is a bit low and on a busy street one is sure to miss one or two calls. The phone misses out on some of the popular features of other brands, namely Profiles(silent, discreet, sound etc.) and customisation of keys. The profiles' feature allows...

The phone misses out on some of the popular features of other brands, namely Profiles(silent, discreet, sound etc.) and customisation of keys. The profiles' feature allows one to choose ringtone setting according the environment like office, loudness, discreet, silence. The absence of Profiles is a great disappointment. The camera picture looks goods only when looked at straight angle and some of the details of WAP contents look blurred. The set does not have post-photo editing facility. I could not rotate the photos taken in horizontal position to a vertical position. The photos can be zoomed in or out after being captures, the resized photos cannot be saved. There are only two skin colour modes to choose from. The most glaring aspect I found was the choice of date format in the idle mode. It shows day, date and month rather than date, month and year.

VGA camera, GPRS 10, Infra Red, 40 poly true tones, bigger than the normal screen size(128 x 160) 65K TFT screen, FM Radio, minute minder and voice clarity feature are the positive aspects of this set. GPRS is really good and the connection is excellent, in fact better than my earlier Nokia 3120. One can even view the download rate and size while downloading ringtones and other items. Fonts are of bigger size(though cannot be adjusted) thus one need not strain their eyes to read the menu or contents. One can add different alterts(ringtones) for different entries in the phone book and similarly pictures can be added to the individual phone book entries. Phone memory can store up to 500 entries with five fields for numbers, one for e-mail and one for note. Under messages, 200 messages can be stoned in the phone memory. The messages are neatly shown with date and time of receipt. Memory status is made available under all possible functions and it is really useful to keep track of the space available.

In short, the phone looks cute and feels light. The phone lets down on the extra convenient features but scores on the utility aspects. On a overall scale of 10, I will rate this phone at 5.
